To put 2023 into perspective, here's a brief timeline of the entire future in 23 key moments:

Great to see so many pupils of @spnaoimhb biking to school this morning for their last cycle bus of 2022! 👏👏 Thanks to @GreenSchoolsIre and @corkcitycouncil for their support for this intiative throughout the year and to all the parents who came along too.

Fascinating morning with @jklong14 @CorkCyclingCrew reviewing cycling network in @The_VQ_Cork. Significant improvements by @corkcitycouncil @TFIupdates. Joined up network improvements needed: - Better / safer junctions - Increased cycle parking - Realising @BusConnects benefits

@cianginty @jklong14 @calnane @TFIupdates @LimerickCouncil Yes, still happening

@EileenHoganUCC hi Eileen, I followed you account today. I had contacted you about participating in your study.

@prasanna_r0 @TFIupdates @CorkCyclingCrew I meant fit for purpose 🙂

@prasanna_r0 @TFIupdates @CorkCyclingCrew Also, the screens don't work when it rains. Not really for for purpose in this cold, damp country

@Kerensd I really really dislike that book

Spotted in Waterstones

@irishexaminer My little guy is in junior infants and loving learning Irish at the moment. He is so proud to show off what he has learned every day and its helping to bring back my knowledge. Secondary school ruined irish for me. I hope by the time he gets there, the approach will have changed

@EileenHoganUCC @CorkCyclingCrew Happy to participate

@culturaltutor Love this thread, thank you 😊

And so they are the Roman walls of Lugo. A story of restoration versus preservation, and of preservation versus demolition; of history as a still-living, still-useful part of civic life, or as a simple ruin. To restore or to preserve? Lugo offers one potential answer.

The small city of Lugo in northern Spain has a special secret. It is the *only* place in the world to have a complete set of intact Roman walls. They were built 2,000 years ago and surround the entire old town. But how did they survive? That's where it gets interesting...

@vflorish @EPAAirQuality @EPAIreland #BusConnects

@vflorish @EPAAirQuality @EPAIreland They are burning petrol and diesel from sitting in traffic for hours getting home from work

Cork is currently up there with air pollution this evening in Europe. What are people burning? Was debating a run but there’s smoke everywhere out there. #CleanAir @EPAAirQuality @EPAIreland
